The Finns used a variety of rifles but primarily the Mosin-Nagant, so let’s just quickly cover the various Finnish-made versions. For every Russian style there is certainly some Finnish use, but these are the models that were constructed by Finnish armories and depots.

All right, I know a lot of you don’t pay too much attention to French guns but that makes this guide all the handier! The Chassepot and Gras are kissing cousins, so it’s easiest to list them together. Hopefully this list will help sort out these extremely similar rifles.

All right, this one is meant to cover the standard issue Mannlicher 1895 rifles and carbines used by the Dutch Army, Navy, and East Indies forces. We have not had time to research Indonesian modifications, of which there are at least three, KSO rifles, or experimental models.

This particular project has taken way more time than expected. Turkish rifles have been organized almost completely by observation and survey, records are scant and few, and modifications abound. These names are for “collectors” and do not necessarily reflect the original military designations. There are several models still in review and this list is likely to change, but for now it is likely the most comprehensive available, so please enjoy.
